She never planned to be a mother.
He never planned to stay.
When Aria Monroe, a broke nursing student drowning in debt and trauma, discovers she’s pregnant after a one-night mistake, her carefully controlled world shatters. The father, Dominic Hale, is wealthy, guarded, and emotionally unavailable, a man whose past taught him love is temporary and trust is dangerous.
She needs help.
He wants distance.
But fate doesn’t negotiate.
Forced into proximity by responsibility neither asked for, Aria and Dominic are drawn into an emotional storm where resentment simmers, attraction burns, and secrets refuse to stay buried. As their bond deepens, both must decide whether love is worth the risk of being broken again.
Sometimes salvation comes in the form you least expect.
Sometimes it calls you “baby daddy.”
